THE GIRLS OF TO-DAY.

The Noble womanhood Iato which They
win Undoubtedly Come.
Nice as most girls are. they are not all
of the kind to make matrimony a state
of bliss and husbands content with
their lot. For in this thickly -thronged
field Of girlhood are the pcevish and the
contradictions. the selfish and the ex-
travagant. the idle and the careless, the
jealous and the unloving. the stupid and
the obstinate. the flirts who encourage
upseemly attentions, and the future
mothers who will think their children
SO many hindrances to pleasure. and
who will not have in their hearts either
human love or animal instinct for their
young. The heaven is not always all
pure blue-howers are not all perfect
and fragrant; and humanity is like the
rest Of nature--wacn beautiful and love.

the whole the choice girls far outnum-

elders Of the generation may not like
this new folly and that fresh affectation
but those elders must remember that
each new generation makes its own
shibboleths. has its own fashions. and
that youth must needs be foolish. else it
would not be youth at all. That pump.
handle shake is hideous and ungrace-
full; SO are those aggressive elbows stuck
out at right angles from the shoulders
to the hip; SO is that silly fashion Of
quasi-masculinity in dress; and worse
than foolish is the affectation Of manly
thought and freedom from feminine
modcstics-of manly license and alb
sence Of feminine restraints. But all
this effervesence will work of in time
and leave the golden liquid clear and
sweet-until another fermentation sets
in. with the same process Of running
clear when it is over. Our grave gram
nics-our sweet mothers-we ourselves,
now grannies and mothers to the pres
